Lower Back Pain

If you suffer from low back pain, you’re not alone! Around 80% of the population will suffer from low back pain at least one time in their lifetime, with a great proportion of this population suffering from chronic low back pain (i.e pain lasting for more than 3 months). Unfortunately, back pain can create undue burden on an individual as it can affect almost every aspect of their life, from work, family life, sleep and even mental wellbeing. Find out how a chiropractor for lower back pain may help.

Reasons for Low Back Pain

There are several reasons for experiencing back pain such as genetics, occupation, sports, weight, body type and hobbies. One of the most common reasons that we see as Chiropractors is back pain due to excessive sitting. Modern day jobs mean that many people are stuck hunched over a desk for majority of the day. This position compresses the low back spine causing micro trauma to the area. This means that your pain may start to appear months or years after starting your desk job.

You may also experience lower back pain if you have hip problems or other postural imbalances that may lead to excess pressure being placed on it.

Chiropractic Adjustment and Low Back Pain

Chiropractic adjustments are aimed at improving the movement in joints that are causing your back pain. The latest review of the clinical effectiveness of Chiropractic and low back pain by Bronfort et al. 2014:

“spinal manipulation / mobilisation was effective in adults for: acute, sub-acute, and chronic low back pain”

That means that it was effective treatment for most low back pain no matter how long you’ve had it for 1 day to 30 years.
